Don't get me started on SamDisk. I've had *much* more than my fair share of problems with that little 'gem'. Most likely cause: Disk protection? I thought that was mentioned on the SimCoupe homepage, but I suppose things could easily have been updated since I last visited. I tried Sphera at one point, and that would have worked if it weren't for a bad sector or two at the end of the disk, so maybe it is something else... If it's not the disk protection preventing .dsk-ing, then it may be a BIOS thing in your PC (I think I read something about some BIOSes not supporting the sectors-per-track that's standard on the Sam). I'm sure someone far more technical than I can explain this more fully..? Ps. Which sadistic b*****d wrote Samdisk? Noone on this list, I hope... -- < The HEXdidn't...
